Who are we and why a car show?
About the Freedom Car Show & Its Mission
The WV Independence Network (WIN) is a coalition of Centers for Independent Living dedicated to providing services, resources, and advocacy that empower individuals with disabilities to live life to the fullest. Our mission is simple yet powerful : maximize independence and community participation for all.
Why We’re Here
Every dollar raised from the Freedom Car Show goes directly to the Community Living Services Program (CLSP), managed by WIN. This vital statewide program helps economically eligible West Virginians with disabilities by funding:
✔ Assistive devices
✔ Durable medical equipment
✔ Home modifications & wheelchair ramps
✔ Vehicle adaptations for accessible transportation
Through CLSP, individuals can remain in their homes, return to their communities, and live with dignity and independence.
Our Goal
The Freedom Car Show isn’t just an event it’s a movement to raise funds and awareness. We want everyone to understand the life changing work that Centers for Independent Living do to make West Virginia a better place to live, work, and play for people with disabilities. Because for those we serve, living independently is true freedom.
Thank You
A heartfelt thank-you to our sponsors, participants, and patrons for helping us turn this vision into reality. Together, we are driving independence forward.

We are at the forefront of American innovation in motorcycle parts & luggage. And we're proud of it. Our desire was to create something that was just as beautiful as it was useful. Thus began the journey of a thousand miles. One pile of carefully chosen leather and one extensively thought-out design at a time.
